Officials have identified 44-year-old Billy Ray Walters as the suspect and have charged him with evading arrest and burglary of a habitation.

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office gives details of the circumstances surrounding the incident: “HCSO Dispatch received a 911 call from a female complainant stating her ex-boyfriend, suspect Walters, had broken into her residence and assaulted her. Walters then fled the residence after the complainant had phoned 911 in a black colored Jaguar. A responding HCSO unit spotted the vehicle matching the description and activated his emergency lights and attempted to make a traffic stop. The suspect then fled from deputies.”

A short pursuit ensued with Walters bailing out of the car he was driving. “The vehicle continued to roll onto the front drive of a residence [located on] Prairie Village and struck the garage door. The suspect continued to run and jump several fences and escaped into the subdivision. A perimeter was set up by several HCSO units and HCSO K9 was deployed. The suspect managed to elude the perimeter,” added the HCSO.
